Ruin Cruiser Information

Ruin Cruiser
Adventurer Handbook Description
Various bizarrely-shaped machines that have taken different forms and functions as an adaption to different goals. Legend has it that they were war machines left behind by a nation that has now been destroyed. Leaving its hard armor and powerful abilities aside, some believe that the design of these ruin machines has greater value in the study of biomimesis than the more common Ruin Guards.

How to Beat Ruin Cruisers

Use Shield Characters!

Ruin Sentinels are usually grouped in twos or more, making it harder to dodge all their attacks. Having a shield would make defeating these monsters easier, although it is not as necessary when facing a lone Ruin Sentinel.

Hitting its weakpoint will also knock it down for some time, making it vulnerable.

Dodge its Laser Attacks

Ruin Cruisers tend to shoot lasers from the center of its body.

This is characterized by the small mechanical parts of its body grouping together close to its main body. Much like a Ruin Guard's Missile Attack, you can dodge this by moving at the last second.

Be wary of its Aerial Attacks

When the Ruin Cruiser turns its body to face the sky, it's preparing its Aerial Attack. A red circle will appear on the ground to indicate where its rain of lasers will land, which is easy to avoid once you spot it.
